Sustainable Development for, and from, the future
The fundamental question being considered by governments and stakeholders around the world is ´What should the world look like in 2030?´ The details of the visions differ between countries, constituencies and communities, but for many there is a common aspiration to end extreme poverty through sustainable development. If we are to achieve this universal aim we must consider how today´s best practice policies and strategies can be deployed in tandem with an ambitious post-2015 development framework.
By bringing together current government structures and policy instruments, the 2030 Sustaineo future scenario tells a compelling story of what is possible with tools and knowledge we already have available.
